In this season of Alone...

So I've been watching Alone on the History channel. For those that don't know the premise you have 10 participants and they are left to themselves, 10 survival items and some camera equipment to the middle of fucking nowhere to survive. I love it, anyway. This season there's a dude that has been surviving purely on body fat and some gathering. Tried fishing, exploring for hunting and trapping, more fishing, gathered some onions and that's about it, 50 something days not eating shit, in the wild, and winter creeping in, each snow saying the Stark motto louder "Winter is coming", this particular guy has had 50+ failures, but manages to hang on because he has focused on the little wins. He actually says, no matter how many failures he has faced, he'll just keep shooting for the little wins and go on the next day and hope for the best.


I've learned so much from that little bit, I've actually talked about it with the team quite often, how we need to focus on the little wins when we were all gritting things out in late June and practically all of July, when I think it was slow for everyone. But focusing on the amount of conversation we're accumulating definitely helps me feel better when a day that might have been tough on the phones.


Do you y'all ever notice that sometimes when the grind accumulates failures a little more often than wanted, and we refocus our energy on the positives no matter how small, it allows you to find the grit to bounce back?


Yeah yeah yeah, baited you into a real post and not a shit post. Sorry, not sorry.

I haven't seen this or even heard of it but the mindset of the guy is pure winner status.

It’s all about the mindset and channeling your energy into the things that matters! Focusing on the positive and not the negative, that’s how you push forward!

I grew up a hardcore kid, listening to Bane, Minor Threat, Sick of it All, and brave heart, and others, and in the "scene" this is a way of life. Positive Minded Attitude.

This mentality in my opinion is what separates those who do great things and those who don’t.

Man I love this! I consistently communicate with my AE's that if you gather enough small wins youre destined for big wins. This just makes it so real.

 Mindset of an absolute winner, thanks for sharing and also thanks for occupying the next month of my life catching up on this show, sounds awesome.

Work remote! Go make your cold calls in the wild! Take the wins and move past the failures.

I have this discussion with some of my enterprise sellers as they have transitioned from a more transactional sale (more wins, with more frequency) to more strategic selling (less "closed won's" but higher value).   I've found its about consistently re-defining what a "win" is based on your real-time state.  If you are crushing it, and feeling the mojo - the bar for a "win" is obviously higher.  If you are in a huge slump - then the bar for "win" is lower.  Wins create momentum, and momentum creates confidence and confidence creates long term success.

Love this! I can see how the win bar works, and how it helps get the momentum rolling.

One day at a time, small wins lead to big wins. How many people has he outlasted with mindset alone? (Love the show too btw)

I tell people to stop worrying about the mountains in the distance when he haven't left the prairies yet. Always a good reset for them mentally. 

Other notable things, "how do you eat an elephant?" "one bite at a time"

Big wins normally take time and everyone knows it may be coming, it’s the little sweet wins which no one expects that are of most value (not economically of course)

If that's not possible, the first thing you need to secure is a work permit, or the proper visa so you can actually apply for jobs up there
